Dismissing thousands of years of global temperature averages because you had a cold winter, very smart.

Im not dismissing anything. I’m just saying, when a measurement was taken in my region in 1925 it was warmer then than it was 100 years later in 2025.

That's not even the same order of magnitude I mentioned

Thats because I’m going by actual measurements. Not predictions based on evidence.

I'll call that willful ignorance. Head in the sand. Not even trying to understand the science and look outside of two data points that only take place in a very specific location over an insignificant amount of time

The surface area of the Earth is roughly 510 million square kilometers. Of which you occupy a, let's say, small portion. You also seem to be ignoring every data point in between 100 years ago and today.

So out of 365 days per year * 100 years * 510 million square kilometers, you're basing your beliefs on... 2 data points? 100 years ago, and today? Really?
